The Tiger Guards followed behind this. The 1,200 Tiger Guards lost 200 people. One thousand people rushed to the city wall. The Yishui crossbow on his back was removed and pressed the buckle machine. Suddenly, ten thousand crossbow arrows shot out from close range, and a large area on the city wall was cleaned up.

Carrying the crossbow arrows that were shot onto the city wall again, this Yishui crossbow is cumbersome and expensive. After shooting, you cannot throw them on the ground at will to avoid damage.

"Kill," Zhang Liao roared angrily and rushed towards the position where Liu Yao's banner was.

To capture the thief, Xu Chu followed immediately, and the Tiger Guards followed. Since the city wall was cleared, the Shanyue Army behind them also easily climbed the city wall without any obstacles.

Taishici did not go, but rushed to the 50,000 reinforcements from Wujun.

Originally, Zhao Fei was afraid that Taishi Ci had a knot in his heart, so he asked him to go to Wujun to help Zhang Liao and not become enemies with Liu Yao.

But because of the current situation, Zhao Fei also explained to him carefully when he called Taishi Ci.

Taishici was not an unreasonable person. He learned the information that Sun Jian was about to attack, and he also knew that Zhao Fei's situation was indeed critical, which was a helpless move.

Zhao Fei could estimate Taishici's feelings and explained it carefully. Taishici was very moved.

Therefore, Taishi Ci immediately agreed to the siege. Although he thought of Liu Yao's kindness to save his mother and did not want to be an enemy with Liu Yao, Zhao Fei also ordered the entire army to capture Liu Yao alive in front of him and not to hurt Liu Yao's life.

This time Taishi Ci attacked the city wall. He thought that Zhang Liao and Xu Chu were enough to capture Liu Yao, so he did not go forward, but rushed to the reinforcements sent by Sheng Xian.

Taishi Ci stayed under Liu Yao for a while, and he knew that there were no experts under Liu Yao's command and he would definitely not be able to withstand the offensive of Zhang Liao and Xu Chu.

What's more, the average force of the Tiger Guards is 100. Even the Danyang soldiers with sixty forces were overturned by the people killed by a thousand Tiger Guards, not to mention the Wujun soldiers with forty forces.

The Shanyue Army that followed was also 80 average force. Xu Chu's martial arts and stunts were very easy to use.

It was originally difficult to climb the city, but with the bonus of Zhang Liao's entire army's fierce attack, the attack power was greatly improved and there were also many assistance for climbing.

Seeing this, Zhao Fei was very satisfied and quickly asked the last ten thousand people around him to catch up, completely overwhelming the resistance and fighting spirit of Liu Yao's army.

Liu Yao was indeed very panicked when he saw the invincible Zhang Liao and Xu Chu coming to him. Although he knew that he was the commander of the entire army, once he escaped, the entire army would be at a disadvantage. When the soldiers saw him escape, they would definitely be defeated.

However, under the threat of death, Liu Yao was not worried about it so much. He sent many soldiers to intercept it. Even the Danyang soldiers, the most elite Danyang soldiers around him, were useless and could not stop Zhang Liao and Xu Chu and the others.

The journey was as powerful as the three powerful generals, and the skills and tactics of many generals were superimposed. Liu Yao's side had no interests in his opponents, so it was of course of no help.

Liu Yao turned around and fled to the city. When Zhang Liao saw this, he immediately shouted: "Where did Liu Yao escape?"

Zhang Liao deliberately shouted loudly, and this move was to let the soldiers under Liu Yao know that as for the capture of Liu Yao, it was still the second.

Sure enough, the city wall was narrow, and only a few of Liu Yao's 80,000 troops were in close contact with Zhang Liao and others. The rest of the soldiers were doing nothing behind. When they heard Zhang Liao's voice, they subconsciously looked at the commander's flag.

Sure enough, when I saw Liu Yao fleeing in a panic, the blow to morale and morale was a bit serious.

At that moment, many soldiers under Liu Yao's command escaped from the team secretly, threw down their weapons and armor, disguised as civilians, and fled into the city.

"Your general has escaped, what's the point of fighting? It's better to surrender. My lord's name is full of benevolence and righteousness, and he will definitely treat you well," Zhang Liao said.

The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting. Zhang Liao knew that he would have to deal with Sun Jian next, which would be the best way to surrender the enemy and reduce some casualties.

With these battles, Zhao Fei became famous in Jiangdong.

What's more, the various people-friendly policies implemented by Zhao Fei in Linchuan County are extremely attractive to ordinary people.

Danyang County is mountainous, but in fact, there are not many aristocratic families. Most of the Danyang soldiers are civilians and appear in the mountains and forests. Most of them hunt and chop firewood and have very few fields, which means they have no relationship with the aristocratic families.

Why did Zhao Fei dare not take over the Han army before? It was because most people were unable to sell themselves to those families and slaves because of natural disasters or lack of oxen and planting tools. The harvest was not good and they could not eat enough.

Aristocratic families often have the blessing of their ancestors, which can exempt the court from taxes. These poor people will no longer need to pay taxes to the court if they become slaves.

These aristocratic families have good and bad things. The good ones take into account the long-term and reputation. For these poor people who have become slaves, they only charge a small amount of land tax or even no charge. Whenever they are in trouble, they will open warehouses and release grain to cultivate loyalty, and then draw strong men from them and train them to become private soldiers.

Those with bad character are charged heavier taxes than the original court to exploit these people. After all, these people have become their slaves, and their names and household registrations have been removed from the official statistics. Life and death are in the hands of the aristocratic families and they are executed at will, and even the court cannot control them.

Unlike the Central Plains, Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated, so there is no shortage of land.

However, Jiangdong lacks plowing oxen and tools, and the land is wet. It is said that two seasons of rice can be planted a year, but if there are not enough planting tools, it will be much more difficult to cultivate than the Central Plains by relying on manpower alone. Not to mention two seasons of rice, one season of rice will be like humans.

Moreover, this is the Yangtze River Plain. If the Yangtze River floods one day, there will be no harvest.

Why did Jiangnan not officially prosper until the Song Dynasty? It was because the first was the Five Barbarians' invasion of China, which caused a large number of people and advanced planting technologies to flow into the south. Then the Northern Song Dynasty turned into the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Central Plains were ravaged by the Jin Dynasty and Mongolia, and a large number of Han people went south.

With sufficient manpower, tools and oxen, Jiangnan was developed and turned into a large granary.

Although Zhao Fei has put in a lot of effort, it is still impossible to become as prosperous as the Central Plains in Jiangnan.

If we wipe out the great families of the aristocratic families and rescue those people who have become slaves, we will naturally be supported, but obviously this is a matter that affects the whole body. With Zhao Fei's current strength, doing this can only seek death.

What's more, the aristocratic families have good and bad things, so he can only change it subtly in the future. It's best to boil the frog in warm water. If this problem is solved violently, even if he unifies the world and wants to deal with the entire aristocratic family, it will lead to chaos in the world.

What Zhao Fei is doing now is to provide oxen and tools to make the people rich first, let them escape from the control of the aristocratic families, and become his own loyal supporters.

Especially for private schools, although it costs a lot, Zhao Fei has been insisting on building and opening up. Enlightenment education must be grasped. First, change the concept and change the idea of ​​being loyal to the Han Dynasty and loyal to the Liu family to the title of loyalty to the nation and the descendants of Yan and Huang.

Secondly, I am naturally loyal to Zhao Fei, the Lord Qingtian, who gave them a good life and allowed them to read books.

The people of Danyang County, men hunting and fishing, women picking herbs, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and were outstanding in the land. They raised the famous Danyang soldiers, which made these people basically not patient with the aristocratic families.

After all, there are too few fields here, and there are mountains everywhere. You don’t need to plant them and rely on the weather for your life. When encountering natural disasters, you will also have a certain ability to resist.

Such Danyang soldiers are naturally what Zhao Fei wants the most. The Shanyue Army occupies most of his army, which is very unbalanced, but there is no way. Now that we can summon Danyang soldiers to balance, it is naturally the best.

In this era, most families still have good family traditions and good family style, otherwise they would not have produced so many great talents.

Therefore, most of the people who defect to them were exempted from most of the taxes and were deeply grateful to them.

If Zhao Fei recruited Han soldiers to the army regardless of scruples, the aristocratic families would easily infiltrate Zhao Fei's army.

This is Zhao Fei's taboo.

When Sun Ce decided to Jiangdong, he initially took the veterans recruited by his father Sun Jian in Changsha. Later, he recruited many soldiers in Huainan, and was recruited by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai and others. He merged with various forces and had only very little contact with the aristocratic families in Jiangdong.

It is also because of this that Sun Ce was not constrained by the Jiangdong family. He killed countless famous scholars in Jiangdong, and even the head of the Lu family, Lu Kang, were killed by Sun Ce. This shows Sun Ce's domineering aura at that time.

Sun Ce died long ago and Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, so he did not have the courage of Sun Ce. However, this was a helpless move. Sun Quan was too young at that time. Many people were not convinced by Sun Ce's army. Only the veteran Cheng Pu and Huang Gai and Zhou Yu left behind, and many others did not believe in Sun Quan's ability.

In the chaos in Jiangdong, the families who were previously suppressed by Sun Ce also took the opportunity to stir up the wind and rain.

In desperation, Sun Quan also used the talents of the Jiangdong family to stabilize the situation, thus stabilizing the situation in Jiangdong and inheriting the remaining careers of his father and brother.

However, since then, Sun Quan has been constrained by these aristocratic families, and it is often difficult to be as arbitrary as before. Before making any decisions, he must take into account the interests of all forces.

Zhao Fei would not be as powerful as Sun Ce to attract hatred, but he would not be willing to be constrained by the aristocratic families, so the army must be absolutely in his hands.

With Liu Yao's escape, Zhang Liao's words were very powerful. So far, Zhao Fei's surrendered soldiers were well accepted. The 40,000 Danyang prisoners in Jinkouling did not kill anyone. Apart from restricting freedom, there was no abuse of two meals a day, food, drink and accommodation.

This reputation is good. When these reinforcements sent by Danyang Army and Sheng Xian saw Zhang Liao and their unstoppable offensive, they were all brave and fearful and surrendered one after another. They were not worried about the outcome after surrender. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian. A registered member of the literature recommends this work.
